Majors
The Major Championships, often referred to simply as the "Majors" are the four most prestigious annual tournaments in men's professional golf. The "majors" originally consisted of the The Open Championship or British Open, the British Amateur or The Amateur Championship,the US Open and the US Amateur. Bobby Jones (golf) completed the Grand Slam in 1930 when he won all four tournaments. It is difficult to determine when this changed to include the current four tournaments. It may have occured as a result of heightened media coverage during the 1950's.
